Draft board
Where he sits
John Collins is number 134 of 497 on our fantasy basketball draft board, in tier 13.
This is LMD's own fantasy basketball projection board and not an average draft position: nobody has measured where he is actually drafted. Every number on it is produced by our model from BALLDONTLIE, and none of it is anybody else's ranking.

About 1,553 fantasy points over 60 projected games -- the per-game figure is the projection, and this is it multiplied out.
Confidence High: 177 games and 4,988 minutes observed across 3 seasons, on a different club than last season.
Against 2025-26, priced with the same scoring rule: 24.9 fantasy points a game over 69 games, a change of +0.8.
LMD projections estimate each player's expected fantasy production from the 2023-2025 seasons, weighting recent playing time and per-minute production and regressing small samples toward positional norms. They are our own model's view, not a consensus and not a draft market. Rookies have no NBA history, so they are projected from what players drafted near the same slot have historically played, at low confidence. Statistics from BALLDONTLIE.
